Aaron here. I'll just cut to the chase: my baby is coming any day now. That said, Jack and I recorded this new episode a bit early in the week. As I type this, it's almost midnight on Wednesday and I'm prepping to schedule this to post on its own. Because who knows where I'll be!? Breakfast Pruner is almost here.

Welcome to Episode 108. -
Did you want a three-hour episode? Well, your wish has been granted. Maybe it's due to Jack's fluid work schedule. Maybe it's because Aaron's unsure if his baby will be born before next Friday. At any rate, we hope you enjoy Episode 107. Who knows when Episode 108 will happen?!?

Missing episodes?

After a few weeks of exploring the netherworld, where we battled three-headed Trump-beasts and drank from the fountains of Cola Mountain, Jack and I have finally returned to bellow our opinions into the TV chasm. Didja miss us?
In all seriousness, Jack started a new job at CryptTV and was in heavy production mode which had us go dark for a time. I can only assume that'll be happening more frequently as Baby Pruner touches down.
But until then ...

Welcome to Episode 105. -
We have officially begun counting down till San Diego Comic-Con! So, of course, that means Aaron and Jack spend a good portion of the episode talking about the TV goodies (or lack there-of) happening next week.
The Emmy nominations were also announced this week, so we not only try to figure out who will win in this insane race but dig through some of the snubs (ie: No Twin Peaks or Last Man on Earth!) For shame!
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:
Game of Thrones Peter Dinklage scored his seventh Emmy nomination for supporting actor in a drama series. Dinklage is now the most nominated person ever in the category. Sandra Oh becomes first Asian woman to score lead actress Emmy nom for Killing Eve. FX has renewed Pose for a second season Three new Archie comics series are in the works. The first of which is an updated animated incarnation of Archie and his friends. There have been numerous Archie cartoons in the past, but this one will reportedly lean more towards comedy than the current comic book series or even Riverdale. The second show is also an animated series, with Josie from Josie and the Pussycats in the lead. That series is described as a "horror-tinged" story. The third is a live-action adaptation of Sam Hill, a private detective character whose adventures have only been sporadically published within the last few decades. Sam Hill is far from an obvious choice for an adaptation, but it could be a sign that the company is attempting to expand its reach. The accompanying report states the three shows are being pitched to streaming services and broadcast networks. Season 22 of South Park will premiere on September 26. FX's Y: The Last Man series has been cast. Barry Keoghan has been signed to portray Yorick Brown, an amateur escape artist and the only human male who survived a catastrophic plague that nearly wiped out his gender. Yorick and his Capuchin monkey, Ampersand, may be the only two male mammals left alive. Imogen Poots will play Hero Brown, Yorick’s sister and an EMT who has her own burdens to bear in the new world. Diane Lane will co-star as Senator Jennifer Brown, Yorick and Hero’s mother. Captain Marvel co-star Lashana Lynch has nabbed the fan favorite role of Agent 355, a Secret Service operative who becomes Yorick’s protector and one of the most memorable characters in the comic. Juliana Canfield will portray Yorick’s girlfriend, Beth, while Marin Ireland will play Nora, “the president’s senior assistant and right hand.”AARON'S LOSER: Bill Maher Live from Oklahoma and Succession

Welcome to Episode 103. -
Another week, another set of bombshells to discuss. We do our best to talk about this Chris Hardwick scandal, but truth be told, we're both a bit too close to the drama to come at this story with unbiased clear eyes. Still, we do our best to not only explore both sides of the story, but also our own dealings with harassment allegations over the years and how they relate here.
Aaron's best friend is dealing with a lot in Hawaii, due to the lava flow which wiped out his entire property. Here's the GoFundMe he created to help save the animals displaced by these tragic events. Please donate and repost if you can. https://www.gofundme.com/save-the-animals-save-puna-hawaii

Welcome to Episode 101 of Punch Drunk TV. We wish we started the show off on a lighter note, but due to the unfortunate death of Anthony Bourdain, we do their best to unpack our own emotions regarding the man's legacy and impact on the world, while also recalling some low points in our lives that led to some self-destructive actions. Mental illness, suicide, and the way the media and social media impacts these things are all touched on ... and then 50 minutes in, the show gets into its normal groove.

It's our 99th episode! To celebrate coming in shy of the big hundred, Jack and Aaron brought their wives along for a very special episode. Here, we discuss our "couple shows" and how our significant others affect the shows we watch.
We recorded this one a bit early this week (on Memorial Day, to be specific), which means there's no talk of the "Roseanne" fiasco that went down on Tuesday. Who needs more "Roseanne" talk, anyway.

It's that time again. Episode 98 of Punch Drunk TV is here and we start off with an apology from Aaron who clarifies his stance on the legality and morality of raping and murdering robots in Westworld. Because, for some reason, last week he just couldn't communicate his argument properly. Also, the whiskey ... it be strong.
It's Memorial Day Weekend, what are you all doing? Besides listening to this new episode, of course...?
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:
Damon Lindelof says his "Watchmen" series will not be an adaptation of the comics or a sequel to the movie, instead saying, it'll be "a remix." Via The Hollywood Reporter, Lindelof says, "Those original twelve issues are our Old Testament. When the New Testament came along, it did not erase what came before it. Creation. The Garden of Eden. Abraham and Isaac. The Flood. It all happened. And so it will be with Watchmen. The Comedian died. Dan and Laurie fell in love. Ozymandias saved the world and Dr. Manhattan left it just after blowing Rorschach to pieces in the bitter cold of Antarctica. To be clear. Watchmen is canon.” Netflix has canceled their "Arrested Development" press tour in the UK following backlash against Jeffrey Tambor. Barack and Michelle Obama have inked a multi-year production deal with Netflix where they will be creating new documentaries, docu-series, feature-length movies, and other types of content. Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis — the co-showrunners of ABC's "Once Upon a Time" — have replaced Bryan Fuller as the new showrunners for Apple's "Amazing Stories." FOX and WWE are close to a five-year $1-billion dollar deal to bring Smackdown to the network. Raw will stay on USA. After being canceled by SYFY, "The Expanse" has been rescued by Amazon "Krypton" has been renewed at SYFY for a second season "Step Up: High Water" renewed for a second season at YouTube Red FX has renewed "Baskets" for a fourth season Mark Wahlberg is currently in the process of bringing back the children’s educational TV series "Captain Kangaroo" with his non-scripted production company Unrealistic Ideas. “We are bringing back a cool STEM scientist as Captain Kangaroo,” he said. There are no other details about the series or where it'll air at this time. There's a new "Thundercats" series on the way, called "Thundercats Roar," and some fans are really unhappy about the new show's silly aesthetic.AARON'S LOSERS: "Fahrenheit 451" and "13 Reasons Why"

Welcome to Episode 98.
As always, #ClinktheDrink. -
We're now at that weird time between show seasons. With Summer shows around the corner and most shows coming to an end, what sorta batshit crazy things are we going to be watching over the next month? That is the question.
In the meantime, The Network UpFronts are done and it seems that the Red Wedding has come to Fox. The network almost killed all of their comedies. But at least Stiffler is coming to "Lethal Weapon" ... right?
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:
Clayne Crawford has been replaced by Seann William Scott for Season 3 of "Lethal Weapon." It's unclear what will happen to Riggs in the story, but Scott will come in as a new unruly cop character for Damon Wayans' Murtaugh to team up with. Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon will return as Cord and Tish to cover the Royal Wedding on HBO. It's titled "The Royal Wedding Live with Cord and Tish!" and will premiere May 19 at 7:30 pm. Jordan Peele will executive produce a new 10-episode nazi-hunting series for Amazon called "The Hunt." Set in the 1970s, the series "starts from a vaguely real-world premise—former Nazis living undercover in New York—and quickly gets TV-show-over-the-top with it, suggesting that the “hundreds” of secret Germans are plotting the rise of a “Fourth Reich” in the heart of the Big Apple." According to Entertainment Weekly, "Arrested Development's" 16-episode fifth season will be split into two halves, with one premiering May 29 and the other coming by the end of the year. Netflix is getting in on the horror anthology trend with a new series, "Guillermo del Toro Presents 10 After Midnight." According to Variety, Del Toro will serve as executive producer on the series, and reportedly wants to write and direct select “equally sophisticated and horrific” episodes himself; the rest will come from writers and filmmakers personally selected by the director. "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." has been renewed for a sixth season. According to AV Club, "the show will return for a 13-episode run next summer, most likely giving viewers a nice gap between the May release of Avengers 4 and the show’s season premiere. This way, half of the cast can still be obliterated and then resurrected without undercutting whatever the movie does to pull it off—which we’re all guessing involves time travel, right?" Batwoman will make her debut in CW's next Superhero crossover event. This will be the first time any of the "Arrow"-related shows will be making a direct connection to the Batman universe. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Epix has just ordered 10 episodes of "Pennyworth," a show dedicated to Batman’s butler Alfred when he first began working for Bruce Wayne’s father. The show will emphasize Alfred’s past as a former British SAS officer living in 1960s London, so it will be as far removed from the classic Batman mythology as possible. DC Universe announced a new 13-episode live action series for the streaming service based on "Doom Patrol." A press release from Warner Bros. says "Doom Patrol" will be about a team of super-powered people who have all been scarred and traumatized by various tragedies until someone known as The Chief comes along and enlists them in a mission to investigate 'the weirdest phenomena in existence.'"NOTEWORTHY CANCELLATIONS:

Aaron here, I'm back from Budapest and I have stories. Also, Jack and I watched enough shows to talk for two hours ... which was something I was really concerned about. I'm typing this as Jack is ordering Jet Blue pizza. It's 12:30 am. What is life?

As always, #ClinktheDrink. -
We took a week off but now we're back ... and badder than ever!
How is it that after one week of not recording, there seems to be even more TV shows we are behind on? Is it even possible to stay up to date on everything when a new show is constantly premiering? Damn, do you remember how shitty TV entertainment used to be before LOST, Mad Men and Breaking Bad? Well, do you?
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:
"The Walking Dead" Season 8 finale brought in 7.9 million viewers — it was the highest rated show of the night, but it was the show's lowest-rated finale since Season 1 — which was watched by 6 million people. Carey Elwes and Jake Busey have joined the cast of "Stranger Things" for Season 3. According to Deadline, Elwes will be playing Larry Kline, the mayor of Hawkins, who was described as “A classic, 80’s style slick politician. Pathetic and driven only by his own interests. The studio is looking for a male, aged from 40s-60s, to fill the role." Busey will be playing a character named Bruce, who was described as “a morally compromised news reporter in his 50s” who is “outwardly sexist, overweight and bedraggled.” Idris Elba is going to Netflix. The service has handed out a straight-to-series, eight-episode order for half-hour entry "Turn Up Charlie," an original comedy created by, starring and exec produced by the "Luther" Emmy nominee. According to THR, "Elba will star in the comedy as Charlie, a struggling DJ and eternal bachelor, who is given a final chance at success when he reluctantly becomes a manny to his famous best friend's problem-child daughter." Comedy Central confirms that Season 5 of "Broad City" will be its final season. Smart move going out on their terms. And with the recent announcement that Amazon is developing an "A League of Their Own" TV series — with Abbi Jacobson co-writing and executive producing — it looks like she'll be keeping busy. I wonder if Alana is good at sports? Nat Geo says Season 3 of its series "Genius" will be about Mary Shelley. Season 2, which is about Pablo Picasso, premieres on Tuesday, the 24th. ABC has once again ordered a 13-episode spinoff to "The Goldbergs." It's currently untitled and will be taking place in the '90s.RECENT RENEWALS & CANCELLATIONS:
HBO has renewed "Barry" for Season 2. CBS renewed "Blue Bloods," "Bull," "Hawaii Five-0," "MacGyver," "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "NCIS: New Orleans." Hulu has renewed "I Love You America" Sundance has renewed "This Close" CBS has taken "Living Biblically" off its lineup, basically canceling the series. NBC has taken "Taken" off its schedule, basically canceling the series. Netflix has canceled "Seven Seconds" after one season.AARON'S LOSERS: "Roseanne," "The Last O.G.," "New Girl" and "Siren"

It's been a long week and Jack and Aaron will be taking a week off next week. Just so you know.

It's been a few days since Jack has had anything to drink and he broke that streak in this episode. You've been warned.
On the flipside, Aaron came into the episode already a bit tipsy off of some odd blue drink from FX's "Legion" Chamber Experience going on in Hollywood this weekend. Let's party!
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS:
Donald and Stephen Glover are no longer working on FX's "Deadpool" animated series. After the news hit, Glover released his entire script for the pilot online 18 million people tuned into "Roseanne" when it returned to TV on Tuesday. And in a speech in Ohio on Tuesday, which was supposed to be about infrastructure, Donald Trump ended up taking the credit for those ratings. Stormy Daniels' 60 Minutes interview brought the show's highest ratings in 10 years — that's 22 million viewers Steven Spielberg came out against Netflix movies being nominated for Oscars. If it's released in the TV format, it should be considered a TV movie and only be considered for Emmys. Do we agree? Netflix has renewed four unscripted shows: "Queer Eye," the docuseries "Dope," the baking competition series "Nailed It," and the docuseries "The Toys That Made Us" Get excited, Jack. John Mulaney will host "SNL" on April 14th.AARON'S LOSERS: "Game Over Man" and "Alex, Inc."

Hey Clinkers. How are you? It's raining in L.A. So ... thoughts and prayers to all the displaced snails ...
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:
The "Stranger Things" cast just got huge pay raises. Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Noah Schnapp, and Caleb McLaughlin all will go from about $30,000 per episode to somewhere between $200,000 and $250,000. Millie Bobby Brown’s bump was apparently even bigger, but Deadline doesn’t offer specifics. David Harbour and Winona Ryder are making somewhere “north of $300,000" after their own salary bumps. Series regulars Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton are only making between $100,000 and $150,000, which seems low for how important they are to the series, but they both got overshadowed by Joe Keery during season two. Kathy Bates will return for Season 8 of "American Horror Story" because, duh. Ryan Murphy revealed at PaleyFest: “Kathy and Sarah Paulson have a lot of great stuff to get to do. So, with Evan Peters, the three of them are the leads this year.” John Constantine will become a series regular on DC's "Legends of Tomorrow." That is if The CW renews the show for a fourth season. NBC has given an extended order for more "Will & Grace" episodes this season. The network already ordered a second season before the reboot's premiere and just ordered a third season (or 11th season, if you're keeping track). Jerry O'Connell has been cast as Sheldon's older brother Georgie on "The Big Bang Theory" and will appear in the Season 11 finale Netflix has secured the international rights to all of the Monty Python movies as well as many TV series including "Flying Circus." The content will launch in the UK and Canada on Sunday, April 15, and begin streaming in America later this year.AARON'S LOSERS: "The Woods: Tales of The X Species Volume 1," "X-Files" and "Krypton"

Hey guys, it's been a rough week. So instead of filling this intro with some sort of witty small talk, we're just going to ask that you head over to iTunes and review/rate the show if you like what you hear. We love you.
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:
"The Walking Dead's" Season 8 finale and Season 4 premiere of "Fear the Walking Dead" — aka the series' first-ever crossover episode — will hit 750 theaters nationwide on April 15 in what Fathom Events is calling "Survival Sunday" Thanks to the success of "The White Queen" and "The White Princess," Starz has put the third installment into production. Based on Philippa Gregory's series of books, the newest series is "The Spanish Princess" which "returns viewers to the world of royal court intrigue as seen uniquely through the perspective of the women, but also sheds light on a previously untold corner of history — the lives of people of color, living and working in 16th century London." Hulu is developing a series about the "Satanic Panic" of the late '80s and early '90s. The series is called "Demons," and according to THR, the drama will "revolve around Marilyn Jones, the seductive "patient zero" in the frenzy surrounding satanic ritual abuse, and her husband, Bennett Lewis, a brilliant but manipulative psychiatrist. In success, each season of Demons would explore a twisted crime affected by the couple's dark exploration into the fragile nature of memory and guilt." MTV is expanding its "TRL" franchise to add late night and morning editions of the program. Nerdist reported on a rumor that FOX may be interested in rebooting "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Of course, it's just a rumor but would this even be a good idea?QUESTION: After watching "Jessica Jones" and "Daredevil's" sophomore seasons, I have to wonder, Is there a Season 2 curse for Netflix's Marvel shows?

In Episode 89 of Punch Drunk TV, Jack and Aaron discuss a very important topic: Their rekindled Tori Amos fandoms. Seriously, it's overtaken everything ... but only '90s Tori.
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:
Barack and Michelle Obama are in early talks with Netflix to produce a new global series for the platform. The deal is said to be focused on a series that would highlight inspirational stories, not anything to serve as a direct rebuttal to current President Donald Trump or his policies. Bronson Pinchot, aka Balki from "Perfect Strangers," has been cast as a recurring character in Netflix's "Sabrina" series. Pinchot will recur as George Hawthorne, "Baxter High's villainous, puritanical principal. He is a constant thorn in Sabrina's side and is always trying to thwart her escapades." Disney Jr is working on a new "Rocketeer" animated series. This time, the story will follow Kit: “a young girl who receives a surprise package on her birthday revealing she’s next in line to become the Rocketeer, a legendary superhero who has the ability to fly with the help of a rocket-powered jetpack.” Assisting Kit with her adventures will be “her gadget-minded best friend, Tesh, and airplane mechanic uncle, Ambrose.” Jon Favreau has been tapped to write and executive produce a live-action "Star Wars" TV series that'll air exclusively on Disney's yet-to-launch standalone streaming service 26.5 million people tuned in to the Oscars on Sunday, making it the lowest rated event in the awards show's history.QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Do the Oscars still matter?
